अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् । परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम्॥६-३१-११॥

The deluded disregard Me when I assume a human form, not knowing My higher mode of being as the great Lord of beings.

english translation

मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः । राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः॥६-३१-१२॥

Their hopes are futile, their actions futile, their knowledge futile; lacking discernment, they resort to a delusive disposition—rākṣasa-like and āsura-like.

english translation

महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः । भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्ययम्॥६-३१-१३॥

But the great-souled, O Pārtha, taking refuge in the divine disposition, worship Me with undivided mind, knowing Me as the imperishable origin of beings.

english translation

सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः । नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते॥६-३१-१४॥

Ever praising Me, striving with steadfast vows, and bowing to Me in devotion, they worship—constantly disciplined in practice.

english translation

ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते । एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम्॥६-३१-१५॥

Others too, worshipping through the sacrifice of knowledge, revere Me—beholding Me as unity, as distinction, and as manifold, facing all directions.
